Riverview

«1
I downloaded the patch and all other downloads install fine, but for some reason every time I try to install Riverview it fails. Any ideas?

    Don't really know a solution, but I have a macbook and I was able to download Riverview just fine. Maybe delete the file, then download it again from the website. Then try installing it.

    It might just take a while to do its thing. I downloaded riverview and tried installing. It was at 0% for a good long while, so I left it a alone for a bit. Checked back in about 5 minutes and it was done. Might just be a little patience is needed.

    I can't download half of the things I buy, including Riverview :/ And it seems to be only certain items, because I've tried DLing them more than once, with nothing, but some other items download just fine..o_o

    I can DL river view but I can't instal it. Then my sound didn't work! So i deleted the file and my sound started working again. So if anyone knows how to fix it that be great.

    The same thing is happening with my mac. I have tried downloading Riverview several times, but no luck. Same with the European sports car. :(

    Glad to hear you got it working. It happened to work for me the first time but I figure since the game just came out and due to its popularity their servers are getting hammered. For those that are having problems my best recommendation would be to try again a bit later and/or periodically.

    I guess so. It's sorta a game of luck. If you can't download it the first time, just try doing it for a second and third.

    Hi jennaxo, were you able to install riverview at all? Please let us know if this is still occurring for you. Thanks for letting us know.

    Does Riverview run a lot slower than Sunset Valley for everyone else? It certainly does for me.

    Riverview seems to be running fine for me. I noticed that there is no pond to fish at in Riverview, but discovered that you can fish at the fish hatchery! Cool. I am wanting to catch some fish to put into my pond at home.

    I get "You cannot user download content with this version of The Sims Launcher. Get the full version from the game updates tab"

    the updater says "There are no patches available for download"

    What next?

    If you are running the retail version of the game and have your computer connected to the internet when you open the launcher, a dialog box should pop up asking you if you want to update the game.

    Hi Nick, the biggest difference is that Riverview will need a longer load time on the initial load. Just like your internet browser uses cache system to speed up performance, after generating and loading the cache it will run as smoothly as Sunset Valley.

    This was a clear alternative as suppose to increasing the Riverview file size to like 500MBs :shock: Hope this help. Thanks for trying out RV. If you have any other question feel free to ask 8)

    I downloaded and installed Riverview with no problems, however, everything after that went wrong. Families I created afterward were somehow corrupt and kept disappearing when I would return to their neighborhood to play them (the active family, not a family that could have just moved). It crashed a few times...

    After all of that I decided to uninstall Riverview, and also to delete and then recreate all of the problem families I had created with it installed. That solved the problems. I have no idea how it could have caused all of those issues.

    That's not happening.
    I've uninstalled, repaired permissions, rebooted, reinstalled, and tried again, same deal. Its convinced there are no patches to get. and it wont let me download river view.

    The same thing happens for me! Everything I try to download for my Mac says it's failed. What I do is download the object/whatever multiple (It took me at least 8 tries for Riverview)times, and eventually it is a success! Woo!

    i can download it fine, but when i try to install it, it stays at 0% and the installer freezes; i'm going to try installing it again when i get more RAM, could that be what's causing the problem?
